Basophils are white blood cells that the bone marrow makes. They play a role in a healthy immune system. Levels that are higher or lower than usual may be a sign of inflammation, hyperthyroidism, or ...

Basophils, though the rarest granulocytes, have emerged as pivotal modulators of immune responses in both allergic inflammation and autoimmunity. These cells are now recognised for their ability to ...

Two concepts are important to understanding how leukocytes become immunocompetent cells: proliferation and differentiation (Figure 6). Proliferation is the production of many cells from a single cell ...

A recent study reveals the pivotal role of tristetraprolin (TTP), an RNA-binding protein, in regulating inflammatory responses in basophils, immune cells central to allergic reactions. The research ...

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) find that pre-basophil and mast cell progenitors differentiate into pre-basophils before producing mature basophils in mice Tokyo, Japan – ...
